Reefer drivers, employees of Tyson/IBP &/or Tyson's little lap-dog companies like the one I occasionally work for.

Hell go read OOIDA's comments on the NPRM.
I'll paraphrase:
Drivers are forced by the restrictions placed on the split sleeper berth to operate without needed restbreaks.
Now that was a lie, and we are punished for it by the 30 minute break now mandated by regulation. Oh they were not alone, there was a running theme permeating the public comments about the HOS forcing people to drive. It is why I council people to consider their statements before posting them.

Best time to take a nap and sunrise too!Son't give them any ideas about making you drive "through the night" or we'll get a nappy time at sunset rule next
That's my point... The HOS interpretation is subject to a variety of meanings depending on who is reading the rule and how they see each comma, "", >, <, =,...
I dealt with a lot of building inspectors in my life and every city seemed to have a different take on every dot.dot.dot...... Clarifying those dot.dot.dots...... was a challenge that led me to the state office on more than one occasion.
Problem with doing that is none of us in this business has the means, time, or money to challenge any jurisdiction that has a propensity to mis-interpret the rule. That's what OOIDA was/is supposed to do but I'm with some here that feel OOIDA has jumped fence to a degree.

People have way too much time on their hands to be editing 40 year old Sesame Street videos.
And yes @Tazz I've said for years people need to QUIT whining about HOS, because the government does NOT have the answers. I remember when we ran under the old system, and before they settled on what we got now, the government came up with two plans that were totally absurd.
STOP looking to the government for answers. STOP.
